“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Zapier throws malformed query errors when accessing NPSP billing street fields because of NPSP’s complex field structure, permission restrictions, and SOQL syntax requirements that don’t match standard Salesforce conventions.
Here’s why these errors happen and how to fix them without debugging SOQL queries.
Skip the SOQL debugging with visual field selection
The root problem is that NPSP uses custom field names like npsp__MailingStreet__c instead of standard BillingStreet fields. Zapier requires you to manually construct SOQL queries, which easily break when you reference the wrong field names or hit permission restrictions.
Coefficient eliminates these errors by showing you exactly which fields are available and letting you select them visually. No SOQL knowledge required.
How to make it work
Step 1. Connect Coefficient to your NPSP org.
Install Coefficient in Google Sheets or Excel, then authenticate with your Salesforce Salesforce NPSP org using the same credentials you use for other integrations.
Step 2. Select “Import from Objects & Fields” and choose your object.
Navigate to either the Account object (if using Household Account model) or the npsp__Household__c object. Coefficient automatically detects your NPSP configuration.
Step 3. Browse available address fields in the visual picker.
All accessible billing address fields appear in a searchable list with their proper API names. You’ll see fields like BillingStreet, npsp__MailingStreet__c, or other custom variations depending on your setup.
Step 4. Select the fields you need and import.
Check the billing street field along with any other address components (city, state, zip, country). Click Import and your data flows directly into your spreadsheet without any query errors.
Step 5. Schedule automatic refreshes to keep data current.
Set up hourly, daily, or weekly refreshes so your address data stays synchronized without manual intervention.
Get reliable NPSP data access
Stop wrestling with malformed SOQL queries and field permission errors. Coefficient’s visual interface shows you exactly what’s available and imports it reliably every time. Try it free and eliminate integration headaches.
